Important questions for Beery, Jungman etc on DD issues

[gouldjg]

Hi guys

I have been constantly testing the DDs in this game and need some clarification on this uber DD issue with regards to it not losing the player.

I have just re-installed the game and am now just testing on a standard 1.4b patch.

The only thing I have changed is the DC radius to 15 as per RUB.

Now I started the 505 mission and have had a much better experience than any other test when I have mods installed.

Some points I can confirm

1. I did escape by use of decoys and turning away.

2. All the DD came over to investigate and they hit on decoy spots after a few close shaves.

3. I was watching from external view and noticed better or more random attack methods from DD.

4. If I never would of tweaked the DC to 15 I most probably would be dead now that’s for sure.

5. When I surfaced some miles away, the 3 DDs came chasing me down again. As they were at a distance I then crash dived, set a few decoys and changed course. Again escaped.

6. I was attacked by a plane later on on third attack run it did in fact hit with bombs.

7. Please look below this picture as I have some question that may help clarify a few things under current knowledge.





Q1 = Was the uber elite DD in the U505 mission?

Q2 = Can someone just refresh my memory as to what the evidence was that it was indeed uber?

Q4 = Is there a possibility that something that was pretty good is now corrupted and that we should try and track this down?.

I love the mods as everyone knows but something is amiss now and I need to know what everyone’s view is on this so I can go a hunting for the problem.

To that end, I first need to discover if in fact there ever was a uber DD or it was just in fact very good as it should have been.

Also I want to stress that I am not pointing any fingers here at all. I am however 100% sure something is not right and it is starting to get worse (is it time to take a step back and re-look at some issues?).

It could be the Hollywood mods, it could be the sensor tweaks, it could be the RND or scr layers, It could be the IC mod.

Can we not all discuss this and try to establish some route cause of the strange DD behaviour.

I am not just ranting here as I have spent the best part of this week evading DD and DC for damage purposes so it was obvious when I tried on stock game.

It is just that I do not really know what has actually been done to the files in other mods, so I am politely asking for some possible theories or solutions.

Thanks for any comments on this issue
